Cancer – Press Review – Revue de Presse Every week on http://marclacroixcancerblog.blogspot.com Chaque semaine sur http://marclacroixcancerblog.blogspot.com Press Review (December 1, 2012) – Revue de presse (1 décembre 2012) Breast Cancer Study: Patients May Be Too Quick To Have Double Mastectomy Many breast cancer patients have their healthy breast removed along with the affected breast despite the relatively low risk of developing cancer in that healthy breast, according to a new study. The findings suggest that fear of the cancer recurring drives many women to have the aggressive surgery. But there is scant evidence that removing both breasts improves most women's long-term survival, some doctors say. By Catherine Pearson.
